Kong Yuhen was overtaken by Shennong Hundred Herbs, but Sheng Xin’s hidden incarnation ambushed the Medicine Ancestor and took control of the Time Realm. As Xu Xiaoshou charged a devastating punch to break the sealed passage, Sheng Xin entered the Gate of Reincarnation to attack Xu Xiaoshou across time.

Xu Xiaoshou concluded that Sheng Xin had reached his Past Life Body through the tangled Dao of Time and Space, then used the Way of Fame, the Source of Time and Space, the Reincarnation Token, and Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns to send his will across the ages. He called for allies from the past and ended with a White Robes sword cultivator answering, “I am here.”

Sheng Xin broke free too late to suppress him, leaving Xu Xiaoshou standing beyond the Divine Court and claiming he could pass through it at will.
