Chapter Nine: Governing the Heavens and the Earth
In the context of dragon language techniques, "Jing Tian Wei Di" refers to the six directions: up, down, east, west, south, and north. Heaven and earth represent the most fundamental orientations, while "Jing" signifies the connection that runs east to west, linking north and south. "Wei" denotes the connection that runs north to south, linking east and west. The Tyrannosaurus determines spatial orientation through the principles of heaven and earth, and then uses this spatial orientation to define the world.
Kong San felt a deep sense of joy in his heart. Regardless of the immense challenges that lay ahead, the emergence of the Little Dragon King was a momentous occasion for the entire Tyrannosaurus clan. The only regret was that there were no other Tyrannosaurs here to share in this joy.
In the perception of the Tyrannosaurus clan, they do not revere heaven and earth; they believe that the sky, the earth, and themselves are equal. Heaven and earth merely indicate the directions of up and down, while the four cardinal directions of east, west, south, and north are defined by latitude and longitude.
The method of "Heavenly and Earthly Laws" possesses immense power; however, it also has significant drawbacks. Firstly, the cultivation is extremely difficult, as every slight change requires a vast amount of primordial energy for support. If one were to truly cultivate to the realm of standing tall between heaven and earth, the amount of primordial energy required would likely be sufficient to create a new world. According to the records in the Dragon Language Technique, even the most powerful three-clawed tyrannosaurus can only reach three times its own size when practicing this method. Secondly, the energy consumption during attacks is excessively high. Although it can exponentially enhance strength, the consumption of primordial energy is also exponential, making it challenging to sustain. Thirdly, once it is broken, the damage will increase exponentially, and the expanded primordial energy may fall into chaos and become difficult to control, leading to extremely serious consequences. The remnants of shattered bones that Kong San saw earlier serve as a precedent.
Kong San was also very curious about this. After a period of conscious observation, he discovered that whenever the young fruit trees were on the verge of withering, a red cloud would float down from the sky, bringing gentle rain to revive their vitality. It seemed as if there was an unspoken understanding between the red cloud and the fruit trees; whenever the trees began to wither, the red cloud would inevitably appear. Over time, the red cloud had unknowingly saved the fruit trees countless times.
To traverse the heavens and weave the earth, one must focus on the details. The method of traversing the heavens and weaving the earth is not merely about changes in size; it places greater emphasis on the intricacies. If one's form increases tenfold, the strength will also increase tenfold, and so forth. If this supernatural ability is cultivated to a certain level, crossing mountains and traversing seas will not be a difficult task. It can be said that this is an exceedingly powerful and formidable supernatural ability
After enduring hardships, when that fruit tree grew into a towering tree, Kong San finally completed the repair of the Dragon Pearl of the Tyrannosaurus King. When Kong San expelled this flawless Dragon Pearl once again, he was astonished to find that the speed at which this Dragon Pearl absorbed the essence of the sun and moon was many times faster than before. Often, with just a thought, the rich essence of the sun and moon would madly penetrate through the blood-red light curtain, visibly condensing on the Dragon Pearl. As the Dragon Pearl rotated, it quickly transformed into primordial energy, flowing through the blood vessels into Kong San's body, circulating for a round before returning to the Dragon Pearl. At this moment, through introspection, Kong San discovered that within the originally empty Dragon Pearl, there was unexpectedly a small drop of milky white liquid. Except for its darker hue and lack of transparency, it was almost identical to the three drops of liquid left to Kong San by the Tyrannosaurus King.
Kong San's gaze turned towards the other side of the blood pool. The rock wall opposite to where Kong San practiced was filled with intertwined red lotus stems between it and the blood pool. Among the tender lotus leaves grew thirteen blood-red lotus flowers in bud, while the colorful dragon egg that captivated Kong San's soul was quietly placed among the thirteen blood lotuses, emanating a soft and delicate luster.
Kong San is not Pangu, does not eat lotus seeds, nor does he like flowers. Initially intending to uproot it completely, he noticed the dragon egg floating on the surface of the blood all day long, and realized that it could easily be broken by himself or by rocks. Thus, he decided to leave the lotus and used its roots and stems to create a relatively safe nest for the dragon egg
Although there are significant flaws, Kong San still believes that the divine ability of "Controlling Heaven and Earth" is much more practical than the ability called "Law of Heaven and Earth" mentioned in the Dragon Language Technique, which is commonly used by the Pangu tribe's shamans. According to records, the purpose of "Law of Heaven and Earth" is to mitigate the disadvantages faced by the Pangu due to their small size in battle. When this ability is unleashed, it exudes an imposing aura, with hands that can support the heavens and feet that can enter the sea, yet its power does not increase at all. It is a classic case of bluster, grand yet useless, far less terrifying than the stone tools in their hands.

The days have swiftly passed year after year, and all of Kong San's energy has been focused on cultivating and studying the Dragon Language. Life has been simple yet fulfilling. Through learning, Kong San has acquired a certain level of knowledge, and his understanding of quantity and direction has improved significantly compared to before. However, he still cannot clearly calculate how many years have passed since he entered this deep pit. The only tool he has to measure time is the fruit tree on the distant peak, which has now grown to the thickness of Kong San's leg.
However, the body of the Pangu King is not without its benefits. At the very least, it keeps Kong San's stomach in a constant state of distension, preventing any feelings of hunger. Another advantage is that the small amount of skin and blood that has been digested transforms into a subtle energy that wanders between Kong San's stomach and intestines. This energy is distinctly separate from the primordial force within Kong San's body, and it does not extend beyond the digestive system. As this energy grows stronger, Kong San discovers that it not only nourishes his stomach but also seems to assist his gastric juices in breaking down the body of the Pangu King. Kong San believes that one day, the Pangu King will be completely digested.
Since Kong San is capable of digesting the Pangu King, it is naturally not a problem for him to digest the Witch Ancestor that obstructs his journey to the Extreme West.
At this moment, the colorful dragon egg still showed no signs of hatching, but Kong San could sense that the life force within it was growing stronger, especially after the essence of the sun and moon became more concentrated, this feeling intensified. This dragon egg was capable of absorbing the energy of the essence of the sun and moon as well as the blood-red light curtain. Each time the dragon egg absorbed energy, it became more translucent, and the lotus flowers surrounding it turned a deep crimson, while the blood-red light curtain enveloping them dimmed slightly. Kong San had a feeling that the moment the blood-red light curtain disappeared might be the moment the dragon egg hatches.

Kong San had a feeling that the moment the blood-red light curtain disappeared might be the moment the dragon egg hatches.
Compared to the fruit trees, Kong San is undoubtedly happy. While the fruit trees are tormented by the scorching sun and the bright moon to the point of near death, the deep pit where Kong San resides is warm as spring, protected by a blood-red light curtain. The fruit trees gradually wither due to a lack of water, surviving only on the nourishment of the red clouds. In contrast, Kong San has lived in the pit for so long without ever feeling hunger. Therefore, Kong San is happy. Whenever it feels distressed, it turns its head to gaze at the fruit trees in the distance, whose plight is miserable, and at that moment, it feels particularly fortunate. Undoubtedly, Kong San's happiness is comparative, built upon the suffering of the fruit trees.
The continuous and relentless cultivation has brought about changes within Kong San that can only be described as earth-shattering. Its bloodline has grown increasingly robust, its bones have become denser, and its entire body is filled with explosive power, all thanks to the influence of primordial energy. Kong San absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, with most of the extracted primordial energy used to repair the Dragon Pearl. However, a small portion has entered its body through its bloodline. Through prolonged accumulation, its body is now saturated with primordial energy, and it can be said that every drop of blood and every piece of bone is imbued with surging strength. Kong San is now confident that it can kill any Pangu with its physical power, even those terrifying ancestral witches, provided that the opponent willingly allows itself to be swallowed.
At the moment of liquid formation, Kong San was so excited that he almost forgot to continue absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. He had finally taken the first step in his cultivation, possessing a genuine Dragon Pearl. From now on, as long as he filled the Dragon Pearl with this liquefied energy and transferred his own mind and spirit onto the Dragon Pearl, he could detonate the Dragon Pearl at any time, attaching his consciousness and energy to the dragon bone, thus becoming a noble golden bone dragon
This blood lotus is precisely the lotus seed that was attached beneath the dragon egg at that time. Kong San had thrown it into the pit, but unexpectedly, this lotus seed grew tenaciously in the blood of the Tyrannosaurus King, producing thirteen exquisite lotus flowers.
Kong San's confidence stems not only from the primordial energy but primarily from the body of the Pangu King within him. The body of the Pangu King is remarkably unique; based on Kong San's understanding of his own digestive capabilities, even if he were to swallow a dragon, it would have long been reduced to nothing after such a long time. However, the body of the Pangu King is an exception; it seems as if it is made of stone. With Kong San's intestinal peristalsis, he can only digest a small amount of skin and blood each day. Now, that fruit tree has grown into a towering tree, yet more than half of the Pangu King's body remains undigested.
However, Kong San no longer needs to specifically become the Golden Bone Dragon; it has an even more glorious mission to accomplish.
Kong San turned his head with a hint of regret and lay prostrate in the blood pool. For some reason, the blood in the pool had become much lighter, and the quantity had also decreased significantly. Kong San lay down, pressing his head against the slick rock wall, and once again entered a state of introspection
The changes of the sun and moon may be a calamity for fruit trees, but for Kong San, they represent a tremendous opportunity. Compared to the originally dim essence of the sun and moon, the current bright sun and full moon provide an essence that Kong San absorbs daily, equivalent to hundreds of times what it used to be. This is a significant stimulation for Kong San, which has become accustomed to slowly absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, greatly increasing its motivation for cultivation. It even temporarily set aside its research on the principles of heaven and earth, unaware of how long this situation will last, and it cannot bear to waste even a single day.
During this period, the outside world has not changed much; it remains desolate. Kong San can distinctly feel the changes in the sun and moon. The sun and moon are no longer obscured; during the day, the sun blazes in the sky, and the ground as well as the distant hard rocks are cracked by the heat. At night, the bright moon casts a cold light, and every night, frost accumulates on the distant fruit tree, only to be withered by the scorching sun the next day. However, it is strange that, in such a harsh environment, that fruit tree has miraculously survived.

Yet, it is strange that, in such a harsh environment, that fruit tree has miraculously survived.
The method of the Tyrannosaurus tribe, known as "Jing Tian Wei Di," is evolved from this unique perspective of time and space as its theoretical foundation. By employing this method, the Tyrannosaurus can, based on accurately positioning itself, utilize primordial energy to extend its body in the six directions of the universe's coordinates. Externally, it can reach the heights of heaven and the depths of earth, while internally, it can transform the vast into the minuscule. It can be said that it is as large or small as desired, and its transformations are unpredictable
