Several Months

It didn't take long for Daedalus to become proficient in using the base form of Darklight Swift Steps. This was mainly because it was based on the Laws he had the best understanding of, Yin and Yang. In total it gave him a speed boost when in use of around three times his usual speed.

It had been around a week of continuous practice and improvements. Daedalus had been practicing this technique as a way of taking a break from making techniques. Though it would prolong his empire's rise to strength it wouldn't necessarily be detrimental in effect. So he practiced and enjoyed life without so much as a worry because he trusted his parents to take care of the empire.

Andromeda however was starting to feel as if he would never stop relaxing and thought, 'Maybe I shouldn't have told him to relax?', however Daedalus quickly swept away her worry at the end of the week by saying "Now that I am finished with learning the basics of the technique I will get back to work." This was said while laying in bed going to sleep.

The next morning Daedalus stuck to his previous words and sat in the pavillion working on the techniques all day. That day became a trend of sorts, as the days went by Daedalus could be seen sitting in his seat in the pavillion every day.

And the months passed. Then it was winter and he had finished the final technique. With his goal completed Daedalus finally stood from his chair, stretched, and walked back towards the palace. Andromeda who was just about to come out and tell him to come inside, because it was so cold, looked slightly surprised. Then she noticed the book in his hands it was in his words 'The hardest to complete of all other Grand Amatas Foundational Techniques combined.' This was because it was the combination of all of them combined.

In the past year or so that Daedalus had worked on these techniques the overall strength of the empire skyrocketed. The techniques where near perfect for setting a solid foundation, however this final technique he made was a combination of all other techniques and an all encompassing cultivation technique. The cultivation technique was something he had long been working on, he just needed to give it a small push and it would erupt in power.

After Andromeda saw the book she immediately said "It's done!?" Daedalus just nodded and handed it to her. Andromeda took it and started reading through it. It wasn't a long winded technique like so many others, rather it got straight to the point. As she read further into the book Andromeda started to shake in excitement. It was perfect.

A few hours later Daedalus and Andromeda where sitting in his study simply reading. Nothing important or awe inspiring, no it was simply enjoying eachother's company in silence while reading. Daedalus himself was thinking over the past several years, trying to figure out his future and how far he'd gone.
