Chapter 1388: Song Zheng’s Experiences

“Now you understand why I’m so shocked, right?!” Song Zhen mumbled at the side while walking over to interrupt Yan Ming.

Shang Xia grunted at the side. “Are you saying that her skills are better than ordinary Stargazers?”

“Better? It’s not just better.” Song Zhen gestured for Yan Ming, who he had interrupted, to not speak first and to focus on restoring her expended energy. He turned to Shang Xia and continued, “In the Chaotic Sea of Stars, Stargazers wouldn’t be able to notice the changes in the flow of chaotic streams so accurately! What’s more, if I hadn’t seen it for myself, I wouldn’t have believed that she actually comprehended so many different methods of art! If I’m not mistaken, she used 4 different techniques earlier, right?”

Yan Ming couldn’t help but speak out after hearing his description. “What do you mean?! I’m the worst of the Stargazers in the Tongyou Institution... However, you’re right. I used 4 different types of techniques earlier. 2 of them were things I am merely trying out, and the other 2... I’m not as good as them as Xin Lu.”

Song Zhen’s jaws dropped and he didn’t know what to say. However, brilliant lights were flashing in his eyes.

Shang Xia smiled when he saw Song Zhen’s reaction. He turned to Yan Ming and explained, “The Stargazer inheritance outside the Heaven Observation Field is few and far between. They’re not complete either. With many powers keeping their inheritances to themselves, there is no exchange of knowledge. As such, they are really lacking when it comes to the art of Stargazing.”

Song Zhen finally snapped back to reality and sighed, “Should I say that the Heaven Observation Field truly deserves its reputation as the final spot the Star Origin Lord chose to hide himself? A single Elysium in a Spirit World already produced 3 Stargazers... If we add the other powers in the Spirit Luxuriant World...”

Shang Xia raised his hand to stop Song Zhen from overthinking and continued, “You don’t have to think too much about it. In our Spirit Luxuriant World, the number of Stargazers won’t exceed 5. Even in the Star Origin City, they don’t have too many Stargazers. It’s still a very rare profession.”

Song Zhen replied quickly, “I understand. Lord, do you mean to say that the Tongyou Institution is standing at the peak of the Spirit Luxuriant World in terms of your Stargazer inheritance and even in the Heaven Observation Field, you can be considered one of the most important powers? It’s amazing indeed!”

Yan Ming burst out laughing after hearing what he said.

Shang Xia coughed once before he continued, “Even though it sounds exaggerated, no matter our institution’s combined fighting strength or other talents, I am sure we will not be afraid of any other faction in the Heaven Observation Field!”

Song Zhen chuckled softly before turning to Yan Ming to explain, “In the sea of stars outside the Star Curtain, any Stargazer who learned a technique or 2 can already establish their own sect. Every powerful Star Pirate group will also extend invitations to you. If you manage to learn 3 or 4 different techniques, your status will be comparable to True Immortals! No matter where you go, everyone will show you the proper respect. If you comprehend more than 5 techniques, even in the vast sea of stars, you will gain the qualifications to meet with even Martial Emptiness Realm Sages. That is because you are very likely to become a legendary Grand Stargazer who has only existed in the legends.”

Even though Yan Ming heard Shang Xia mention how rare Stargazers were, she was shocked by Song Zhen’s explanation.

“I will be able to comprehend my sixth technique soon and will soon be able to catch up to Xin Lu in terms of skill... Well, let’s not talk about that freak, Yuan Qiuyuan. Not only has he comprehended all 7 techniques of the institution’s inheritance, he even completed the deduction and perfection of 2 other techniques brought back from the scattered inheritance from the sea of stars.”

Yan Ming was stopped by Shang Xia before she could finish.

“Alright, enough.” Shang Xia waved his hand and stopped them. Even though they were all members under the Tongyou Institution’s banner, he didn’t wish to reveal too much information on Yuan Qiuyuan and the inheritance of the Tongyou Institution. After all, Stargazers were supposed to be a mysterious profession even in the institution.

“Let’s not rile up Old Song anymore...” Shang Xia smiled at Yan Ming.

Song Zhen extended his arms with his palms facing the sky and chuckled helplessly.

Seemingly having thought of something, Yan Ming turned to Song Zhen to ask, “Right, you haven’t told me why you interrupted me earlier.”

Speaking of which, it had already been some time since Song Zhen stopped her from navigating the ship. As there was no Stargazer to guide their path, the Spirit Ark has been blasted many times by the chaotic bursts that happened.

Most of the time, the ark’s protection barrier would be enough to allow it to move unobstructed. Even if there were powerful bursts, the body of the ark was sturdy enough. It might be trembling violently, but there were no signs of damage for the time being.

Song Zhen chuckled and started to explain, “Our journey has just begun and you managed to help us avoid many random chaotic streams. However... How much energy did you already use up?”

Seeing the look of surprise on Yan Ming’s face, Song Zhen knew that she understood what he had meant. However, he maintained a serious look on his face and continued, “We still have a long way to go. According to the chart, our ark is merely in the streams of chaotic space around the Spirit Luxuriant World. We haven’t even left the Heaven Observation Field where the chaotic streams will be even more powerful. Things will only be more dangerous there and if you exhaust yourself here, how will you take care of matters there?”

As she sank deep into contemplation, Song Zhen added, “Young Lady Yan, that is why you need to reasonably split up your energy consumption. Not only do you need to arrange for some time to rest, but you also need to ensure the safety of our ark. As for the small storms and random streams we might encounter, we can allow the protection barrier of the ark to do its job. It’s not as weak as you think it is.”

Shang Xia chuckled at the side, “He’s speaking from experience.”

Nodding slowly, Yan Ming cupped her fists towards Song Zhen and said solemnly, “Many thanks for the pointers!”

In the next leg of their journey, Yan Ming started to maximize the use of her abilities and she managed to work with Song Zhen a lot better. They might be traveling deeper and deeper into the chaotic streams, but instead of facing obstructions, they were traveling even faster!

Soon, the ark entered the vicinity of another world as the chaotic streams grew weaker.

With Song Zhen’s rich experiences, he reacted quickly. Along with Yan Ming’s reminder, they quickly concealed themselves while traveling along the border of the chaotic streams without revealing themselves.

Shang Xia emerged from the ship to examine the world for himself and quickly discovered its identity. It was the Azure Sea World that was still under the jurisdiction of the Star Origin Dao Field!

Flying over himself, he moved around the heavenly screen for some time to take a closer look. The True Immortals within failed to detect his presence.

As they were on a mission, he didn’t stop. After observing the Azure Sea World from outside the heavenly screen, he returned to the Spirit Ark.

With Yan Ming’s navigation, they had already arrived on the other side. It was where the Star Curtain was located and all they had to do was to pass through to leave the Heaven Observation Field.

If Yuan Qiuyuan didn’t make any mistakes during their calculation, and if Yan Ming didn’t mess up, they would quickly arrive close to where the Spirit Tip World would be once they emerged from the chaotic streams outside the Star Curtain.
