Editing the path of the blend

I have saved my progress as Happy little star.ai. In this exercise, I am going to show you how to blend between objects that are far apart from each other and then how to modify the path of the blend in between. So I am going to start things off by zooming out. I am going to select this interior circle. Can't really see it but you can see the Exterior circle right there which is the beginning of that blend between the circle on the star shape. If you move your cursor in a little bit, you'll see that there is another shape just on the inside of the larger circle. Click on it and you'll select a smaller circle that has an Opacity value of 50% and 25% Yellow, that's all. Just like the outer circle actually but it's a different opacity level. But I want you to note that the color is 25% yellow, nothing else is going on. Now I am going to zoom out so that I can take in more of my graphic at a time and there is another circle over here some place. So I will press Ctrl+Y or Cmd+Y on the Mac…
