Next stage

Soon after Daedalus had left the castle he had returned to his cultivation chamber, where he proceeded to to work on his cultivation technique. Within his cultivation chamber Daedalus advanced in his technique and managed to obtain both the embodiment of space and time.

As he had previous experience gaining the other embodiments of the elements he proceeded without hesitation and obtained the two within two weeks. with only so little time left until the tournament began, Daedalus was hesitant to continue working on his cultivation technique.

This hesitation was quickly ignored by Daedalus as his plan was not to work toward only the tournament but to proceed further along his path to becoming the strongest and best craftsman. So as Daedalus considered this he got himself comfy and began his next stage of cultivation.

With the embodiments of each element within his body Daedalus made the effort to get them all into his lower dantian. This would allow the next stage he had considered to begin.

This had taken Daedalus an hour or so however it was done rather quickly. Once it was done Daedalus moved on to the next stage. He had to, in one swift motion, destroy all of the embodiments of the elements and combine the remnants.

Hopefully by doing this Daedalus would be able to combine all of them into one super powerful embodiment of the elements. Daedalus had come to the conclusion of making it this way after thinking about how his Myriad Lotus talent looked.

His goal had eventually changed from just making the embodiment of the elements, to making his talent a solid creation and part of his cultivation. This was how Daedalus had chosen to combine the remnants of his embodiments with his talent which was a part of his soul.

Daedalus was attempting to combine all three types of cultivation into one, then solidify it all into one central location. This would leave him with a vulnerability, however the resistance it would hold due to the enormous amount of energy it was created with would make it near unbreakable. Finally he had experienced something similar to this when he went through the transformation at the aura body stage, it had shown him that he could combine everything.

And so began the final steps that Daedalus would take along his cultivation until after the tournament. It would be a hard and painful journey lasting the remaining time.

Then the embodiments of the elements shattered and Daedalus soul core appeared inside his dantian. A week later the accumulated remnants and the soul core merged creating a new type of core. When it was almost fully complete, Daedalus body disappeared leaving only the orb or core floating where he once was.

This was the chance Daedalus had given himself to combine all of his talent in soul, body and energy cultivation. If he succeeded he would be much stronger than before, but the greater thing was that he could technically return to this state if his planning was correct.
