• Tang San and his family returned to the Star Dou Great Forest and reunited with Da Ming and Er Ming, who learned that Ah Yin had been revived.

Tang San and his family investigated Meteorite Valley as a possible place to find a first Soul Ring for his Clear Sky Hammer, while Da Ming warned them of a strange disturbance in the forest’s Life Origin. They reached the gravity-heavy mountain near the valley, where they prepared to continue searching for Old Jin, the Mountain Moving Ape.

• Da Ming described Old Jin, a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger descendant, and dangerous Dragon-tainted Soul Beasts as possible targets, while Tang San chose to investigate Meteorite Valley first.

Tang San and his companions observed Mountain Moving Ape Old Jin in Meteorite Valley and learned about its strength and habits. Tang San decided to test its interest in rare materials from a distance, leaving his family to support him from the mountaintop.

• Tang San, Xiao Wu, Tang Hao, and Ah Yin reached the top of a mountain and spotted Mountain Moving Ape Old Jin asleep in Meteorite Valley.

Tang San gained Old Jin’s trust by helping stabilize its Soul Power and agreed to stay in Meteorite Valley to study the Gravity Field and Meteorite Stones. As Old Jin demonstrated its strength, Tang San observed how it used the valley’s gravity, while a growing disturbance in the Star Dou Great Forest hinted at a looming crisis.
