They think this is China’s prized treasure and very valuable.

They traveled to China in order to return the Eye of Shangri-La.

After arriving, Alex’s mother runs into Alex and her brother.

Alex kept his parents at a distance.

He feels his parents don’t give him enough time.

He doesn’t talk to his parents properly.

He was upset with his parents, hence

Alex’s mother tells his husband, we’ve discovered a lot of priceless items,

However, we have lost the most precious thing we have—our son.

We must put in a lot of effort,

And dispel whatever misconceptions he may have about us.

We must pour our love into his heart.

Later, Alex is shown showing his parents the tomb he found.

As they collaborate, Alex’s professor also joins in.

The parents of Alex congratulate him on a job well done by both of you.

However, the professor informs Alex’s parents,

You possess a priceless item that is connected to our work.

It denotes that he was referring to the Eye of Shangri- La.

That Alex’s parents have come to China to return.

Alex’s parents smiled and gave him the Shangri-La to him.

As a result of their faith in the professor.

They learn later that this professor tricked Alex’s parents as well.

He was a member of the military,

And was acting in accordance with a general’s orders.

The general also arrives and the professor gives eye of Shangri-La to him.

You can’t take this, Alex’s mother warns him.

This is the possession of the Chinese people,

We have come here to return this.

When the general asks Alex’s mother to open it but she refuses.

The general thinks that the emperor is the only one who can save China.

With the aid of Eye of Shangri- La, he seeks to bring the emperor back to life.

And to lift the witch’s curse.

The general takes the Eye of Shangri-La which has magical water.

And with that water, he brings the emperor to life.

The emperor was pleased with this general as soon as he awoke.

He kills Alex’s professor because he was dissatisfied with him.

Alex knows that the emperor must be stopped,

Because instead of saving China from disaster, this ruler will destroy it.

He will exploit people and rule over them.

Alex now holds the key to the future of the world.

He now gets the help of the girl who attacked him when he first found the tomb.

And her name is Lin, Alex attacks the emperor with her help.

The emperor runs after Alex and Lin fight him.

Alex is informed by Lin that she has a weapon,

By which she can kill the emperor.

She claims to have a cursed dagger when he asks about the weapon.
That is the only weapon by which the emperor can be killed.

Alex departs for Shangri-La with Lin and his parents.

It was the water of Shangri-La because the emperor was brought back to life.

Later, they pass from the mountains of the Himalayas.
Lin calls a beast that will help them.

The emperor has also been monitoring them,

The general sends his army against them on emperor’s order.

They can’t fight that army so the creature call by Lin fights the army.

The emperor hurts Alex’s father during all of this, and he gets seriously hurt.

He also requires assistance.

This group is currently being led to the witch.

That the emperor and his army was cursed.

Later, the group learns that she is the same witch’s daughter.

Both of them were alive because they drank the Shangri-La’s water,

They both become immortal as a result.

The witch now treats Alex’s father’s injuries, and he makes a full recovery.

Now that Alex has become fond of Lin,

she doesn’t want to take this risk.

Because she doesn’t want to witness Alex’s aging and eventual death.

The general and the emperor are visible on the opposite side.

To carry out their evil intentions, they reached to Shangri-La.

When they arrived to attack this group, they learned about Shangri-La.

They use this Shangri-La water after they have arrived.

With this water, the emperor bathes.

He has numerous superpowers after bathing in this water.

Later on, he changes into the three-headed dragon.

He snatches the cursed dagger after growing so powerful.

He could only have been killed in that manner.

In addition, he kidnaps the witch Lin’s daughter.

With the use of this water, he also awakens his dormant army.

The army that the witch’ has made mummy with her spell.

The emperor wants to rule the entire world and has ill intentions.

He directs his troops to the Chinese Great Wall.

They’ll get there and get powerful enough that,

No one was able to defeat them as a result.

His terrible intentions are known to Alex and the witch,

That’s why both pursue him.

His nefarious intentions are already known to the witch.

She, therefore, doesn’t want to let him destroy the world.

The witch here gives up her immortality.

She eventually succumbs to mortality, along with her daughter.

She reawakens Ming’s army,

Ming was killed as a punishment because she admired him.

The Ming army and the emperor’s army engage in fierce combat.

We saw Alex, who had come to save Lin, on the other side.

We witness the witch’s conflict with the emperor.

She robs the emperor of his cursed dagger during the conflict.

The emperor becomes weaker when she gets the dagger.

This dagger is given to Alex and his father by the witch.

She does not want to give the emperor this dagger.

The emperor’s life was now in danger.

Because Alex and his father were in possession of the cursed dagger.

And with its aid, he might be killed once more.

He then heads for the Chinese Great Wall.

Alex and his father confronted him before he could get there.

They have been informed,

That he might die if they hit him with this arrow in the chest.

And they carry out the same action,

killing the emperor with its help.

We notice Lin over there,

And she uses her combat prowess to murder the general and his assistant.

And as the emperor passes away, so does his army.

The Ming army, on the opposite side, enjoyed their victory,

Before returning to the life of death,

We observe Alex and Lin, who will live together for the rest of their life.

On the other side, the brother of Alex’s mother takes this Shangri-La far away.
