chapter 12 (book 2) of

Hills of Silver Ruins, a Pitch Black Moon.

Raising the

Yellow Banner (黄旗) over the rishi announces the commencement of the

Shouzan (昇山). As depicted in

The Wings of Dreams, the Shouzan is an arduous journey to the heart of the Yellow Sea, at the end of which the kirin selects the next emperor from the candidates who survived the gauntlet.

Though as with Youko and Shouryuu, the kirin may dispense with the Shouzan and initiate the search himself.
