Yen-Lo was a powerful disciple of a zen master, but he used the master's teachings for evil. The zen master passed him over for master. and Yen-Lo swore vengeance on him. He got stabbed by the zen master's daughter but used his knowledge 
of the teachings to escape before he died.

The place he escaped to is a place where souls pass on their way to reincarnation. 
It's a mystical region between life and death called Limbo. Metaphysical and magical laws are amplified in limbo.

Yen-Lo somehow figured out a way to hide out there. As long as he stays there his wound will never advance. He can literally cheat death forever. 
Yen-Lo can use any surface of water as a portal but he can only stay in the real world for short periods. Otherwise, his wound will ultimately kill him.

He was trapped in the dragon-blade by Phoebe and removed from limbo by the Zen-Master.
