After several years of arduous travel, during which time they crossed every imaginable form of terrain and confronted innumerable obstacles and adversaries, San Zang and his disciples come to a legitimate mark of their progress for the first time in ages: they have crossed the border out of China and into India, and their journey's conclusion is drawing closer by the hour. But being in a new country doesn't mean they won't encounter the same old villains, and the four companions will have to call on everything they've learned to ensure they journey doesn't end before their fianl destination is reached.
