In the blink of an eye, the battle of the gods passed, and Huang Tianhua became the generalissimo of the heavenly court, while Li Xiang, who came earlier than him, was still watching fish and shrimp at the bottom of the sea. However, he is not without gains, and the golden hoop stick is also called the Dinghaishen Needle, which is not without reason.

The golden hoop rod was originally refined by Dayu, just for measuring the depth of the water. And when measuring the depth of the water, if the wave is too large, the error will be large. In order to measure accurately, Dayu fixed a spell on the golden hoop stick, and around the golden hoop stick, the water flow will slow down and the waves will calm down.

With this function, when the golden hoop rod is thrown on the bottom of the sea, it will unconsciously calm the waves, especially when there are strong winds and waves at sea, and the effect is more obvious. And as Li Xiang's mana became deeper and deeper, the range of influence that could be affected was gradually increasing, and by now, it could already affect the range of thousands of miles.

The area where the golden hoop rod is located is always calm, so that the people on the nearby coast live very peacefully. And there is merit to be earned by sheltering the people, although it is very small, but it cannot stand for a long time, and the accumulation is already considerable.

What is the merit, how can Li Xiang, who has crossed over to the Xianxia plane many times, not know? This is a good thing that immortal cultivators can't ask for. But what makes him depressed is that others can directly convert merit into their own strength, but he can't, he can only watch good things in his hands but can't use them. It's like having a house full of money that you can't spend a penny, it's torture.

However, Li Xiang is not without benefits at all, merit can not only be directly transformed into mana, but also calm the mind and not be attacked by demons. There are no demons. When you cultivate, you can be bolder, and your progress will be faster. Li Xiang can't break through the Golden Immortal now. But it is possible to comprehend the law in a state of deep concentration. Comprehending the law can not only increase the actual combat effectiveness, but also if the comprehension is deep enough. It can also help break through. So, this is Li Xiang's best choice.

Comprehending the law, Li Xiang is not the first time. However, the first time was in the Western Magic Plane, and the comprehension was the law of wind. If you can continue to start with this law, Li Xiang can be much more convenient. But now that he is at the bottom of the sea, where is the wind for him to understand? Even if he can grow bigger and peek out of the sea, he needs to concentrate to keep it bigger. Attention is focused on deformation, how can you comprehend the law? Therefore, the law of the wind is no longer worked.

Except for the law of the wind. The most convenient thing is, of course, water. Li Xiang is now at the bottom of the sea, the surrounding water is endless, plus the function of the golden hoop stick itself to slow down the flow of water, the golden hoop stick is gold, gold is born of water in the five elements, and all kinds of convenient conditions point to the water, so what is there to hesitate?

has the experience of comprehending the law of wind, and Li Xiang is also very quick to comprehend the law of water. The first is to start with the most basic water control spells and study why water can be controlled. The properties of the water are then deduced and then verified experimentally. In addition, the content learned in the physics class in school back then, the buoyancy of water, the surface tension of water, the permeability of water, the solid, liquid and gas states of water, etc., can all help Li Xiang understand the law of water.

The comprehension of the law is quite difficult. Hongjun Ancestor said that there are three thousand avenues, and all of them can be right. These avenues. Of course, this includes the law of water. But it is almost impossible to be completely proficient in one law. The powers of antiquity. They are all about finding an innate spiritual treasure and understanding the laws in the spiritual treasure.

It's like learning something. Just find the textbook first, and you will learn it much faster. And people like Li Xiang, who don't have innate spirit treasures to comprehend at all, are like scientists who are groping in the dark, they need to observe first, and then put forward conjectures, and the progress is much slower when the conjectures are proved correct through experiments.

However, this is not without benefits, and the laws that I have figured out by myself are much more profound in understanding than what I learned from textbooks. It's like a person who writes a textbook and a person who learns with a textbook, maybe the person who writes the book can only write the textbook for elementary school students and knows nothing about the content of the university, while the person who learns has already gone to college. The person who writes the book is not as good as the person who learns in terms of academic qualifications and knowledge, but in terms of the learning content of the primary school, the person who writes the book must have a deeper understanding. It's not about IQ, it's just about the degree of specialization.

However, it is very boring to specialize in a subject, especially if there is nothing else to do, and you can only do this one thing every day, which is even more boring. Li Xiang is not a research-type person, and he will go crazy after a long time. Even though his heavenly eye could see things 108,000 miles away, he couldn't move, which still made him more and more irritable.

He also knew that if he couldn't control his emotions, he would have problems, so he could only practice the "Taiqing Heart Method" or "Reincarnation Mantra" whenever he was irritable, but it was still difficult to calm down. Fortunately, the merits accumulated by the golden hoop rod helped him a lot, and even if he was irritable, he did not go mad.

As time passed, Li Xiang gradually forgot about his irritability. It's like a person who is locked up in a small dark room, either crazy or stupid. With merit to escort him, Li Xiang can't go crazy, and can only become a fool. Every day, he either delves into the law of water, or cultivates the "Taiqing Heart Method", and is numb like a robot.

No matter what Li Xiang's mood was, his IQ was not affected, and his comprehension of the law of water continued to deepen at a very slow, but always advancing pace. At the same time, his mana is slowly accumulating, becoming deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, one day, Li Xiang was woken up by bursts of golden light, and he came back to his senses. Then he realized that he didn't know when he became golden. It's an iron rod, but it's like gold, and it doesn't need light to shine on its own.

What's going on? Li Xiang turned his mind that was about to ossify into stone, and after thinking about it for a long time, it turned out that the merit he had accumulated had reached its peak!

Although merit is good, there is a limit to the amount of merit that can be stored, whether it is a person or a thing. If there are too many, it will not be able to hold it, just like a water glass, and after it is full, it will continue to be filled, and it will flow outside. And the sign that is filled with it, that is, the carrier of merit will emit a brilliant golden light, like the golden hoop rod is now.

After understanding this, Li Xiang was a little worried. It's a pity that you have merit in your body like this, but you can't use it yourself, and no matter how much merit you have in the future, you will lose it! It would be nice if I could use it myself!

While thinking like this, even though he knew that he couldn't use it, Li Xiang couldn't help but try again, wanting to absorb the merits. However, to his surprise, he really absorbed a little bit this time! Although it was only a little bit, it was completely incomparable to the massive amount of merit he carried, but he finally absorbed it!

Li Xiang was overjoyed and immediately continued to absorb. But except for the little bit that has been absorbed by him, there is no more! This made Li Xiang feel that he had just learned that he had won the first prize of the lottery, and then he was told that he had read it wrong, but it was actually just a consolation prize, and the difference was so big that it could make people crazy. Fortunately, after Li Xiang has been in the "prison" for so many years, his heart has long been like a rock, so there is no imbalance in his mentality.

However, in the following days, Li Xiang discovered the mystery. He can indeed absorb merit, but he can only absorb those that the golden hoop rod can't carry and scatter. This made Li Xiang happy and disappointed, happy that he could still absorb merit, and disappointed that merit was too slow to be generated, when and what month could he break through to the Golden Immortal?

In order to generate more merits, Li Xiang began to use the law of water that he had comprehended over the years, combined with the characteristics of the golden hoop stick to suppress wind and waves, to expand the scope of his influence, so as to earn more merits. It's just that the range has indeed increased, from the original 1,000 li to 5,000 li. But in this Xianxia plane, the world is very big, relatively speaking, five thousand miles is not much at all, and the merits generated are still very small.

But even with such a small amount of merit, the help to Li Xiang is huge. The comprehension of the law of water, which was originally like a snail crawling, suddenly accelerated a lot, and the inspiration in his mind appeared frequently, and Li Xiang felt that he had suddenly become a genius! And his comprehension of the law of water had already reached a considerable level, and now it had accelerated suddenly, making him finally feel that the opportunity to break through the golden immortal was not far away!

Seeing hope, Li Xiang became even more energetic and devoted himself to studying. However, the hope is clearly in front of us, but it has never been touched. It's like the saying goes, "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", you have already seen the mountain, it feels very close, but in fact it is still far away.

Just when Li Xiang was fully engaged, he suddenly found that someone had come to him. Li Xiang looked at it with a trace of spirit, and was immediately taken aback, and it was the Dragon King of the East China Sea who led a monkey when he came to his side!

The monkey who was led to the golden hoop stick by the Dragon King of the East China Sea, who else is there besides Sun Wukong? But when was Sun Wukong born? Is it time for "Journey to the West" now? Li Xiang hurriedly calculated, and found that he was in a stupid state, and it had been thousands of years! It's no wonder that the merits accumulated by the golden hoop stick are full, and his comprehension of the law of water is so profound, it turns out that it has been accumulated over time!

Originally, Li Xiang wanted to be like the last time Huang Tianhua came, and he stubbornly refused to listen to Sun Wukong's order, telling him to get out of here quickly and not disturb his practice. However, he soon changed his mind, Sun Wukong wanted to follow Tang Seng to learn the scriptures, and there is merit to learn the scriptures! Tang Seng is just a mortal, and he directly became a Buddha by virtue of the merits of learning scriptures, and Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and Bailongma all gained a lot of benefits in the process of learning scriptures. If the golden hoop stick becomes Sun Wukong's weapon, won't there be any merit? As long as there is merit, it is much faster than slowly accumulating it at the bottom of the sea. With merit, Li Xiang will be able to break through faster!

Thinking of this, Li Xiang immediately took the initiative to cooperate with Sun Wukong, and muttered to Sun Wukong: "It's good to be thin and short." Take the initiative to directly change the length and thickness of the golden hoop rod into a suitable weapon, eliminating the intermediate process. This made Sun Wukong overjoyed, grabbed the golden hoop stick and danced, stirring up the entire East China Sea water, and almost overturning the Crystal Palace. (To be continued.) )
