As Daedalus continued to work on his core he sat down and focused as much as he could on compacting his core to its maximum amount.
A few days later however and Daedalus' core still hadn't reached his limit, the problem came when he realised that the pressure was too weak to use on compacting it further. Daedalus then stood up and again started walking forward towards the throne on the other side of the hall.
Daedalus managed to walk directly up to the throne though with some difficulties. Daedalus however did not sit down and immediately go back to cultivating, instead he began studying the throne itself and even the aura pressure that it was giving off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few weeks later and Daedalus had only managed to gain a basic understanding into the runes, formations and enchantments that were inscribed onto the beautifully and intricately designed throne. However from what he had learned Daedalus could only describe it with one word 'Divine!'. Its basic use was simply to give off an ever increasing pressure depending on how many steps you take within its domain, however if you sat on it not only would the pressure be removed but a test of talent and resolve would take place.
With this new knowledge Daedalus began walking around the room until eventually he had a pressure on him that was so strong that his core was compacting naturally. Daedalus realised that his core was compacting naturally and continued walking around the thrones domain.
It was only when Daedalus' physical body also started becoming stronger that he walked back towards the throne and sat in a meditating pose. After Daedalus sat and began meditating he immediately sent his senses into his heart and watched as his core became so infinitesimally small that he could not physically see it, then with a sound or crackling a ball of pure, super compacted energy formed looking significantly similar to a black hole and also acted as one with the energy around him. The similarities between the two ended there as the energy could also be extracted and used by Daedalus and it only sucked in the pure natural energy around Daedalus to fuel itself.
Daedalus after seeing this phenomenon was utterly shocked as he realised that this meant that he was basically automatically cultivating at all times!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After testing all sorts of different ideas he had about his core he eventually could not think of anything else to do other than sitting in the throne and undergoing the trial.
So Daedalus walked over to the chair with ease as even though the pressure kept increasing he had broke through to the peak of the mana core stage so it would not affect him as much anymore. Reaching the chair Daedalus did not hesitate in the slightest to sit and begin the trial.
The first part of the trail consisted of his talent being checked and confirmed by the trial as a perfect score.
The second trial put Daedalus through numerous illusions of what his life could have been under certain circumstances, however Daedalus always overcame any problems he faced and finished the trial.
