Rejoicing in their hearts, the many powerhouses of the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage, including Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, Fuxi, Nuwa, Queen Mother of the West, and others, looked expectantly toward the location where Yuan Yan was.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Merit had completely descended, and the Heavenly Dao Will had also receded. All cultivators of the Yingzhou Immortal Island Lineage exited their states of sudden enlightenment and awoke, but there was one exception, and that was Yuan Yan!
Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling had failed to take advantage of this heavenly descent of merit to completely integrate their Three Corpse Dao Bodies, only managing to fuse a little over eighty percent of them, and Yuan Yan similarly had not yet fully integrated his Three Corpse Dao Bodies.
However, Yuan Yan's integration of his Three Corpse Dao Bodies was a bit further along than those of Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling, having fused nearly ninety percent of them.
The reason Yuan Yan was able to fuse nearly ninety percent was not because his Three Corpse Dao Bodies had fewer accumulations or were easier to integrate, but because his realm was higher and his comprehension deeper.
Yet, not completely integrated meant not completely integrated.
Even with nearly ninety percent integration, even though Yuan Yan's Dao Fruit had undergone another transformation and sublimation, and his Great Dao realm had already reached the Second-Layer Hunyuan Great Firmament Golden Immortal, and even though he possessed sufficient merit to repay the karmic debts of the world, he still could not prove the Dao as a Hunyuan Great Firmament Golden Immortal in this state.
Although a Half-Step Hunyuan Great Firmament Golden Immortal was already an out-of-bounds existence in today's Primordial World, second only to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
