No matter how strong that bear-like creature is, it is as fragile as us in the face of severe weather. Facing such a violent blizzard, it must have already hidden back in its lair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jin was the cousin of Second Mate Xie Tianshu. Although he was also half a \"connection hire,\" he had after all been selected through regular channels, so he naturally thought it was due to his own strength. Therefore, he never thought he and Li Youyi were the same kind of person and viewed himself very highly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, no matter how much he looked down on this green university student, he wouldn't be so targeted everywhere, appearing to have no grace. It was mainly because Xie Tianshu had already given instructions about this matter, which involved the infighting between the First Mate and the Second Mate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi held the opposite view but didn't want to argue with Xie Jin, responding with silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued to patrol outside the window vigilantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tap! Tap! Tap...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold female voice came from the direction of the stairs: \"That bear-like creature is no longer a normal Earth life form. Bullets can't even penetrate its bones; how could a mere blizzard do anything to it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Yutong walked down the stairs and appeared before the security team members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a female Ph.D. student in chemistry who had accidentally become popular online due to her extremely high beauty, studying at the country's top institution, Capital University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security team members all knew this great beauty was on the research vessel, but she was too much of a homebody and spent most of her time in the laboratory, so it was the first time many of them had seen her in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was exactly the same as in the online videos, without excessive beauty filters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she had even more temperament in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dr. Cai, let me help you carry that. What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jin walked up quickly, acting very gentlemanly, but his fawning and flattering demeanor lowered the impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched out his hands, wanting to take the box Cai Yutong was holding tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Yutong didn't let him touch it, saying in a tone that kept people at a distance: \"Some concentrated acid strong enough to dissolve a corpse and some freshly made explosives; you'd better not touch them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jin retracted his outstretched hand, wary and awkward, smiling with a stiff face: \"Too good, as expected of a chemistry Ph.D., knowledge is power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Yutong held the box and walked toward the window where Li Youyi was, saying: \"I know you, the basketball specialist freshman from Capital University. What should I call you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Youyi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi didn't expect the other party to actually know him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm asking, what should you call me?\" Cai Yutong’s tone and demeanor were very cold and aloof, and she was also very tall, over 1.7 meters, with exquisite features that were beautiful no matter how you looked at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi smiled sheepishly: \"Senior sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me a hand, gently, be steady,\" Cai Yutong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi quickly leaned the Yellow Dragon Sword against the wall, used both hands carefully to support the box with Cai Yutong, and placed it steadily on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among alumni, even if they had never known each other before, there was always a special feeling and trust when meeting abroad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi had practiced martial arts since childhood, and his physical fitness and reaction speed were far beyond ordinary people; the basketball special recruitment was just a way to get extra points. As long as he was willing, he could develop another specialty within a few months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jin returned to the group of security team members, maintaining a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the group of security team members who had once flattered him now winking and looking strange, Xie Jin felt a bit of shame and anger in his heart, and the fake smile on his face could no longer be maintained. Looking at the familiar and close appearance of Li Youyi and Cai Yutong, he felt another kind of taste in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If targeting Li Youyi before was Xie Tianshu’s idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then at this moment, he was truly a bit jealous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Yutong opened the box and explained the usage and precautions for the items inside, her eyes frequently colliding with Li Youyi’s at close range, her hair brushing against Li Youyi’s face in the cold wind, accompanied by wisps of fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior sister, are you handing this whole box of things to me?\" Li Youyi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Yutong was not good at social niceties, asking back: \"I am a researcher; do you want me to go and fight that bear-like creature?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't mean that... I, I thought the security team members could all learn how to use them,\" Li Youyi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Yutong looked at Xie Jin and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jin smiled: \"Dr. Cai, this junior brother of yours is a master of martial arts. See that sword? In his heart, that sword is probably more useful than these things of yours; he looks down on others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A security team member close to Xie Jin echoed: \"I heard that practicing traditional martial arts can cultivate internal strength and true Qi. Little Li is the First Mate’s junior brother; to be specially recruited into the security team, he must be such a person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone could hear the provocation in their words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Specifically pointing out that Li Youyi was Zhao Meng’s junior brother was telling Cai Yutong that the university student in front of her couldn't be relied upon and was just a \"connection hire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi was very calm: \"Where is there any internal strength or true Qi? Practicing traditional martial arts is just to strengthen the body; it's not that mysterious. Everyone should believe in science.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having started martial arts at five, practicing through the coldest winter and hottest summer, Li Youyi’s martial arts attainments were naturally very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he only had more strength than ordinary people, faster speed, and more proficient moves and techniques; there was no internal strength or true Qi at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the old sect leader talked about the decline of Martial Dao, Li Youyi had also asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old sect leader just sighed, saying he was born at the wrong time, his physical body had already reached a critical point, and if he had been born in ancient times, he would definitely have been able to cultivate some extraordinary achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi then asked why he could cultivate extraordinary achievements in ancient times, but not in this era? How far back was the so-called ancient times?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old sect leader was tight-lipped, only saying: \"The myths have fallen, imprisoned in the endless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Youyi didn't understand, he firmly planted the Martial Dao ideal of \"pursuing the extraordinary\" at that time. He would deeply cultivate Martial Dao and break through the mortal body, even if he had to go against the era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young people, after all, always have a drive that refuses to admit defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more the elders said it was difficult and bitter, the more they said he couldn't do it, the more he wanted to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jin said: \"Little Li, don't be humble! We are all our own people; there's no need to hide anything. Show us a few moves. I don't believe someone as upright as the First Mate would specially recruit a loafer. We are very curious about internal strength and true Qi; let us see it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Tianshu instructing Xie Jin to target Li Youyi was, at its core, to strike at Zhao Meng’s prestige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Youyi was vulnerable and a fraud, then Zhao Meng, who specially recruited him into the security team, would have his image in the crew’s hearts plummet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't the first time Li Youyi had been given a hard time, and he wasn't made of mud; he also had a bit of youthful spirit of \"if people don't offend me, I won't offend them; if people offend me, don't blame me.\" He said: \"Since Brother Jin insists, we can spar a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the boarding hall, a round of jeering broke out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Cai Yutong, who was always indifferent to everything, showed some interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jin had been waiting for this opportunity for over a month, and it was in front of the great beauty Cai Yutong, so he was in a great mood, smiling gracefully: \"That's fine, but let's agree beforehand, we'll stop at the limit; we must not hurt the harmony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had other thoughts in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they started fighting, how could there be \"stopping at the limit\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of a great beauty, no one could admit defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only be one side beating the other down, beating them into submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stood in a brief standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xie Jin closed the distance, he gave a low shout and attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both hands formed claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he dodged to the left, his right leg kicked up at the knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A security team member exclaimed: \"Black Dragon Eighteen Styles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a type of boxing that was banned by the military because it was too vicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Xie Jin used to start was exactly the \"Green Dragon Probing Claw\" from the Black Dragon Eighteen Styles, and it was well-practiced, clearly the result of years of hard work. This was not about stopping at the limit; he was clearly prepared to at least dislocate one of Li Youyi’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a muffled \"bang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the dodging, before the crowd could see what had happened, Xie Jin had already fallen straight to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Li Youyi’s right-hand palm blade was still slanted in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi didn't know any Black Dragon Eighteen Styles; he only knew that as long as the speed was fast enough and the strength was great enough, any move of the opponent was just flashy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And no one knew when that bear-like creature would attack the research vessel again, so he had to finish the fight quickly; he didn't want to delay the life-and-death matter because of Xie Jin’s nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security team members stood up one after another, looking at each other, their hearts shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Xie Jin had been defeated because he underestimated his opponent, his physical fitness was there. To be knocked down by Li Youyi’s single palm strike, the speed and power of this strike truly shocked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Yutong was standing a few meters behind Li Youyi by the window. When Xie Jin attacked just now, even she felt a sense of danger and oppression rushing toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how did he end up lying down in an instant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks good but useless?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought had just surfaced in her mind, but unconsciously, the words slipped from her lips as if she were talking to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jin’s neck felt like it was cramping, his head dizzy and ears ringing. When he finally recovered his hearing, he heard Cai Yutong say this and was so angry he almost died on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thump! Thump! Thump...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of running came from the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short student who liked to recite poetry and tell myths was excited, rushed into the boarding hall, and said: \"I know, I know, that bear-like creature is the legendary Ghost Bear Emperor. It is said to be a polar bear king that absorbed aurora and a large amount of carrion, mutated, and gained ghost-like intelligence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short student smiled awkwardly, looked at Xie Jin who was being helped to the corner, and exclaimed: \"What are you doing? Have you already been attacked?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll leave this to you; I'm going back to the laboratory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Cai Yutong walked to the stairs, a familiar heavy landing sound rang out on the deck outside the cabin door, and the floor of the boarding hall shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s faces changed in shock, and they grabbed their weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leadership of the Long Ji took the elevator down to the bottom cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Yang spoke as he walked: \"The underground palace of the Ganlu Temple Sarira Pagoda was only opened in 1960, a thousand years after it was sealed in the Song Dynasty. The archaeological team packed the rectangular stone casket they dug out and transported it back to the laboratory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inside the stone casket was a small silver coffin. After the silver coffin was opened, there was an even smaller gold coffin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn't until the gold coffin was opened that the Buddha Sarira, preserved in a crystal container, appeared. Everyone, please come in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he suddenly mention the Buddha Sarira?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door to the 705 Laboratory opened, and the crowd filed in with deeper confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the laboratory, there were various precision instruments. On the table in the center was the crystal container holding the Buddha Sarira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the container, the Buddha Sarira was about the size of a soybean and was light red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Yang stood beside the Sarira and asked with a smile: \"Everyone is knowledgeable; what do you think of the microscopic world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the confused looks on everyone’s faces, Director Yang threw out a brick to attract jade: \"On a microscopic scale, many classical physical laws no longer apply, replaced by quantum mechanics laws, such as quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, and tunneling effects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is a theory that if humans want to walk out of Earth and out of the solar system, it is definitely not by walking out of traditional interstellar space, but by exploring the microscopic world. Just like how we can use mobile phones to transmit sound thousands of miles away—it's not by shouting with a louder voice, but by information transmission at a microscopic level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The space wormholes that have never been found might not be rare in the microscopic world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In short, the peculiarity and mystery of the microscopic world will definitely challenge our traditional cognition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some say that human cognition of the ocean is only five percent; then how much is human cognition of the microscopic world? One in a billion? I don't think even one in a trillion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present stared at him coldly with the eyes of looking at an academic heretic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Yang understood that talking more was useless, so he pointed to the high-magnification scanning tunneling microscope aimed at the Buddha Sarira and said: \"Seeing is believing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to see what you are babbling about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Xu had endured him for a long time and was the first to walk up, staring at the Buddha Sarira under the microscope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This old professor, who was nearly sixty but still physically strong, had his legs trembling, his body sliding down, and he slumped to the ground, his eyes full of shock and confusion, then muttered some words that no one could understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Meng was extremely curious in his heart; how could Professor Xu, who could calmly look at monsters like the bear-like creature and the Nine Infants, be scared like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a Sarira!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he see?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After helping Professor Xu up, Zhao Meng was the second to walk to the microscope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the crystal container, the Buddha Sarira was only the size of a bean, but under the microscope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a huge light-red planet, with towering and steep mountains, dry ancient riverbeds, desolate and vast, magnificent, and shocking to the human heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like standing in space, looking down at the endless vastness of Mars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny Sarira actually hid another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was too incredible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being so tiny, what should be seen under the microscope should be the crystal structure of the Sarira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would it be like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Meng felt suffocated, seeing an even more unbelievable scene on the Buddha Sarira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of each ancient riverbed was a vast and deep-red withered sea, the bright seabed looking as if it had been soaked in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ancient and strangely shaped bronze ship was parked quietly on the shore of the withered sea, not knowing where it came from or where it was going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been silent for too many years, and even the hull had become rusty, with only the mast and canvas still clearly identifiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Yang, standing to the side, increased the magnification of the microscope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Meng immediately saw it more clearly, his scalp tingling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his field of vision, the bronze ship became incomparably huge, with bones piled up on the deck, including armored white-boned humans, phoenix corpses, python skeletons, and an endless forest of tombstone steles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phoenix corpses and python skeletons were particularly huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A feather of a phoenix corpse was dozens of times larger than those armored white-boned humans; it lay on the deck near the ship's tower, one wing covering the forest of steles, and one wing resting on the nine-story ship tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but Zhao Meng clearly saw that the phoenix corpse’s feathers were emitting a faint light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The microscope’s magnification was limited, and too many things could not be seen clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one could imagine that if there were an opportunity to board this magnificent and mysterious giant ship, the scene seen would only be more shocking, perhaps opening the door to a fantasy and bizarre world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giant ship...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly only four hundred and sixty nanometers long, just like a speck of dust falling on the Buddha Sarira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a microscope were not used, it would be like the billions of specks of dust on Earth, unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New book, please help Old Fish add it to your favorites, and please vote for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3071,"2026-06-17T10:23:16.664Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","46bde831334f8d8787b55a84c04daa469b8fd27d9334b72414d9a963b8e1aed5","law-of-primordial-origin-chapter-4","law-of-primordial-origin-chapter-2",333,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-primeval-law-cover.jpg"]
