Chapter 1626: Fifth Star Chart, All’s Good!

Yan Ming looked at Shang Xia with an unusual expression.

Shang Xia, feeling somewhat uneasy under Yan Ming's gaze, touched his nose awkwardly and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yan Ming evaded his gaze and responded with a hint of reproach, “How are you in such a good mood even after suffering such injuries?!”

Shang Xia burst out laughing, "It's just that I've gained a deeper understanding of the next level. Didn’t I say it before? My injury was worth it.”

Yan Ming huffed, "You haven’t entered the Seventh Order yet and I see that you’re already getting ahead of yourself! I hope your luck improves and the remaining suns can be used. Also, you better think about healing your injuries first. Otherwise, your External Avatar will end up as a walking corpse again...”

Shang Xia chuckled, "Then I guess we'll need to rely on you, our great Grand Stargazer, to lead the way!”

Yan Ming rolled her eyes instantly. "Only if you don’t mind my slow pace!"

After Shang Xia and his External Avatar boarded the small Star Ship, Yan Ming took control of steering the vessel.

Naturally, the speed of the ship when piloted by Yan Ming could not compare with Shang Xia or his External Avatar. Although she was also preparing to refine her fifth fate dipper, the difference between the Martial Dipper Realm and Shang Xia’s Six Direction Realm was substantial. Not to mention how Shang Xia was a peak-level True Immortal.

Fortunately, Yan Ming didn’t need to control the ship for too long. Once Shang Xia had stabilized his internal injuries, he again separated a strand of soul for his External Avatar. With the high-level True Immortal External Avatar controlling the Star Ship, their speed increased several-fold.

When Yan Ming was responsible for driving the Star Ship, she had been fearful of attracting danger like Star Pirates since neither high-level True Immortal had the ability to fight.

With the combat strength of Shang Xia’s External Avatar restored, she felt a lot more reassured.

After several days, they continued to travel further. Although they encountered dangers along the way, all were easily resolved by Shang Xia’s External Avatar, who had the ability of a high-level True Immortal.

3 days later, they reached the vicinity of the sun in the Phecda position. Even though Shang Xia hadn’t awakened, his External Avatar could sense that his state was improving.

Without Shang Xia's assistance, the efficiency of Yan Ming and the External Avatar in surveying the sun was much lower, but it was still manageable. They had been working in that manner before. In fact, they became even more efficient since Yan Ming’s improvement to a Grand Stargazer.

After several more days, they finally completed their survey. Although it was somewhat inferior to the sun in the Merak position, it was considerably better than the one in the Dubhe position. There was also no threatening presence within tens of thousands of miles in the surrounding void. It could be considered pretty ideal.

After completing the survey of the third sun and making their marks and records, Yan Ming and Shang Xia’s External Avatar set off again. They headed to the sun in the Megrez position. Shang Xia remained in meditation the entire time.

When he finally awakened, they had covered a good half of the distance to the sun in the Megrez position.

He remained quiet for a moment in the ship before sharing everything that had happened during his meditation through his External Avatar.

When he turned around again, he saw Yan Ming in his face.

Shang Xia instinctively leaned his head back and yelled in shock, “What's wrong?"

Yan Ming gave him a look before wondering out loud, "Are you healed?"

Shang Xia smiled. "I have completely recovered!"

"That’s good." Yan Ming’s expression softened, but she quickly became serious again. "Since our great True Immortal Shang has recovered, let’s hurry up and make our preparations.”

Shang Xia was puzzled and he frowned. "Aren’t we just halfway to the sun in the Megrez position? What preparations are we going to make? Wait, did you discover something?"

Yan Ming moved to the front of the starship, pointing towards the void. "I’ve just noticed through my Stargazing arts that there might be a chaotic stream flow near the next sun."

Shang Xia’s gaze sharpened. "Did you find another world?"

Yan Ming shot him a look and mumbled, "There might be a world, yes, and it’s quite likely, but it’s unclear to what extent it has developed."

Shang Xia nodded in understanding. "It looks like we need to check it out."

As they approached the void near the sun in the Megrez position, Shang Xia once again left the 2. He entered the chaotic streams alone while Yan Ming and his External Avatar continued to survey the sun.

This time, Shang Xia’s exploration inside the chaotic streams went very smoothly, and he quickly returned.

Yan Ming, who had not yet completed the overall survey of the sun, looked surprised to see Shang Xia back. She couldn’t help but ask, "Did things go well, or was the danger so great that it sent you running?"

Shang Xia chuckled, "I was rather lucky. There is an Azure World just beyond the chaotic streams. The experts there are really secluded and don't know much of the outside world. There is only a single Elysium in there and they have a single Elysium True Immortal. He isn’t even aware of the sea of stars outside the chaotic streams.”

Yan Ming smirked. "That's quite insular, but are you sure there’s only 1 Azure World? Are you not planning to do anything?”

Shang Xia spoke casually, "Yeah, there’s just 1 world. Anyway, let’s talk about the rest later. Our focus now is on surveying the sun. Let’s not get sidetracked.”

As his External Avatar returned from the depths of the void, he reported after seeing the both of them, "I’ve just scouted a 50,000 mile radius around the void. Aside from the patch of chaotic streams, there are no threats.”

Shang Xia smiled. "It seems there’s no issue with this sun at the Megrez position then."

However, before he could finish, Yan Ming sighed lightly, "Don’t celebrate too soon, this sun might look strong, but it’s weak internally.”

Shang Xia’s smile faltered, but his External Avatar spoke, "How so? This sun is abundant in light and heat..."

Yan Ming coughed lightly, "Don’t misunderstand, what I mean by that is that the core of the sun is weakest among the others we saw before. However... Compared to the suns we surveyed on the third Star Chart, it’s stronger than the 2 weakest ones...”

Shang Xia nodded. "So, is this sun still within an acceptable range?"

Yan Ming glanced at Shang Xia before frowning. "You seem very concerned about the fifth Star Chart. Is it because of the Essence Chong Heavenly Field located in the center of the Big Dipper formation?”

Shang Xia did not confirm nor deny. He swiftly changed the subject. "Let’s go, we have 3 more suns to survey. Next, we shall head over to the Alioth position.”
