Among the women beside Ye Fan, Shen Yan's cultivation level is already considered very high, second only to Li Zhaojun, and even not far behind her.
Li Zhaojun's cultivation level relies on Ye Fan's help, as well as her own Heart Sutra and pure Yin physique, whereas Shen Yan's cultivation is entirely due to her efforts later on, though Xi He had forcibly influenced her. However, after Xi He helped Shen Yan achieve a high level of cultivation, Xi He sealed some of Shen Yan's memories, causing her to lose memory related to cultivation, leaving her cultivation stagnant.
"Ye Fan, what do you mean by this? Why, after reaching the secret realm, do you still imprison me like this?" Shen Yan confronted Ye Fan, her heart filled with anger.
