Way of Heaven (Chapter 3)

Heaven's Way was a technique written by the forefathers of the sect, who were also the first elemental benders of the 5 elements (Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth). The forefathers are of different elemental nature, each had their ultimate elemental skill and weapon. These elements could boost and counter one another. Heaven's Way is the only technique that could bring the 5 skills to work together, creating the highest form of elemental bending.

Each elemental skill could only be learn by the suitable wielder of the elemental weapon. The weapons were profused with the energy cores of the forefathers. These cores are able to determine if each bender of the the sect is to be the next wielder of the weapon and owner of the skill. Gold wielder of the Golden Wing will obtain the Golden Shield Technique. Wood wielder of the Jade Bamboo Spear obtains the Spirit Piercing Skill. Water wielder of the Heaven's Bow obtains the Frosted Rain Skill. Fire wielder of the Fire Demon Blade obtains the Hell Fire Technique. Lastly, Earth wielder of the Adamantine Club obtains the 7 Destructions By Adamantine.

Many of those who were not chosen left the sect. They established their own school and skill, and some of them created forbidden weapons and techniques that requires occultic sacrifices. The Palm Taming of the 18 Serpents Skill, a fire elemental skill, was the most powerful amongst them. Even the mainstream elemental skills could not match up.. Only Heaven's Way..
