For a cultivator, it's not easy to randomly integrate someone else's True Qi. For ordinary cultivators, it's simply impossible. The fusion of two streams of True Qi within the body will inevitably lead to a collision of True Qi, resulting in the cultivator's body exploding and dying.
However, neither Long Ren nor the Great Elder are ordinary individuals. The Great Elder, in particular, is a cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and can absorb a bit of external True Qi, but not much. The Great Elder couldn't hold on for long.
Nevertheless, the Great Elder understood the importance of the moment. Long Ren, the Lake Master, had waited almost ten years for this day. If Long Ren hadn't noticed a trace of strange pain on the Great Elder's face and promptly alerted Ding Fan, the Great Elder might have held on until the end, even if he knew he would explode and die from being unable to bear it...
