Cultivation

It was as Daedalus said this that he realised it wasn't just his body refinement. Even though he could still clearly sense immortal energy, it seemed as though his cultivation was reverting back to the initial stage.

Ceridwen and Artair could also feel his cultivation lowering at a rapid pace, however it seemed to be completely natural as Daedalus' body wasn't harmed in the slightest. Even then the two of them tried to help Daedalus halt this sudden loss of cultivation. However as they did this an explosion occured as the energy being released from his body had forcefully ejected itself as soon as it felt something trying to stop it.

Within a few seconds Daedalus collapsed onto the bed he was in and fell back to sleep. Ceridwen and Artair where both worried and lightly injured due to the explosion and ran over.

After checking on his condition they could only say firmly that his cultivation had been completely nulled. This wasn't the best thing to happen as unless he could quickly cultivate his way back up he wouldn't be capable of fighting in the tournament.

Ceridwen knew that this was both a good and a bad thing as it would mean he could use his previous experiences in cultivation to proceed faster, however he would be restarting with no cultivation at all. What she didn't know was that he could still feel immortal energy even as his cultivation had reverted.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had taken Daedalus about three days to wake up and when he did he couldn't help feeling a bit depressed. He had been cultivating for more than fifty years and all of that had just been completely undone.

Even then he quickly sucked it up and considered how he would proceed. However just as he began to consider this his soul was suddenly assaulted by a strong force. As this happened he couldn't help but think 'Seriously I just woke up from a three day long nap!' and then he lost consciousness

Ceridwen who had heard him wake up came running in only to find him unconscious again. Thus she sighed in exasperation and went back outside.

It was only a couple hours later that Daedalus woke up again and he couldn't help but feel a little happy this time. As it turned out the final thing that knocked him out was a legacy treasure/technique that contained the true method to this worlds three cultivation systems, body, energy and soul.

The body cultivation one was actually one of the more interesting ways that he had ever seen. It was basically a matter of using any and all forms of pressure to further his body cultivation. As it happens all that was needed for Daedalus to unlock this method was to simply try and train under heavy pressure. No-one else could have done this because it required you to have gotten at least twelve golden layers during the Mortal Aura Compression stage.

The soul cultivation method was only capable of being unlocked if you had the other two. The way you would cultivate was that you would slowly purify your soul and then it would be capable of being strengthened. The process of purification could be quickened by doing good deeds.

Finally, the energy cultivation was the same except that you would start cultivating with immortal energy immediately. This could only be done if your cultivation was completely undone, which was a miracle in of itself.
