Head Sage Yue started the ceremony for choosing the new monarch and invoked the ancestral spirits. He had been taught the ritual by his father when he was young, and he had also seen his father perform it when his cousin Min had been chosen to be the king of the Pearl Kingdom. At that time, Head Sage Yue's father had used his own magic to create a soft glow around cousin Min, and then declared him to be the King of the Pearl Kingdom.
