Chapter Fifteen: Back to the Primordial World, A Variable in Tong Tian’s Eyes!
Initially, Shi Chen had a crazy idea; he wanted to use the Zhuxian Sword Formation to break through to the Array Realm.
If that were to happen, his Array Realm would undoubtedly be incredibly powerful.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind before being dismissed.
Aside from the fact that he may not even be able to see the Zhuxian Sword Formation, how could a small fry like him even attempt to imitate it?
Even a sliver of its energy would be enough to obliterate him.
It's best not to indulge in such unrealistic dreams.
He didn't even dare to dream of the Nine-Curve Yellow River Formation.
It was a formation capable of reducing the twelve Golden Immortals to ordinary mortals, and his body couldn't possibly withstand it.
He should be more practical and see if his master, Yun Xiao, could find him some suitable formations to practice.
With this thought in mind, Shi Chen returned to the Primordial World.
His cave abode remained exactly as he had left it, unchanged.
Even though he had spent quite a bit of time in the Perfect World, for the Primordial World, thousands or tens of thousands of years wouldn't make much of a difference.
Shi Chen focused his mind, activating the telepathic communication array, and Yun Xiao's voice echoed through it.
“Hmm? Disciple, why are you calling upon your master today?”
“Is there something you don't understand?”
“Respectfully reporting to Master, this disciple has something to request your presence.”
As soon as Shi Chen finished speaking, he saw a beam of immortal light emanating from the telepathic communication array, transforming into Yun Xiao's form.
Shi Chen was startled.
He hadn't expected Yun Xiao to arrive so directly. Had he only just spoken, and she had already come?
What Shi Chen didn't know was that he was Yun Xiao's first and only disciple, her Emperor's Son. Naturally, she held him in high regard.
Hearing him say he had something to request, she assumed something had gone wrong with his cultivation and rushed over immediately.
Yun Xiao observed Shi Chen, seeing that he was fine, she let out a sigh of relief.
“Speak, what is it that you need to request your master’s presence?”
“It’s like this, Master. While cultivating recently, I suddenly had a realization. Our Intercepting Sect is renowned throughout the Primordial World for its formations, but they are often inconvenient to deploy.”
“Wouldn't it be better if these formations could be inscribed into one's body, enhancing both physical strength and aiding in cultivation and combat?”
Yun Xiao pondered Shi Chen’s words for a moment, then nodded, shaking her head as she replied.
“Your idea has some merit, but the Dao of Formations is extremely profound, far beyond your current level of comprehension.”
“Focus on raising your cultivation first, and then think about these things later.”
Yun Xiao’s refusal wasn’t unexpected to Shi Chen.
After all, from Yun Xiao’s perspective, his current cultivation was practically nonexistent.
What was the point of pursuing these extraneous techniques when he hadn’t properly improved his cultivation?
From the start, Shi Chen hadn't intended for Yun Xiao to agree.
“Disciple understands. However, I am truly interested in the Dao of Formations. I humbly request your guidance.”
This was Shi Chen’s true intention.
If he had directly asked Yun Xiao for books on the Dao of Formations, she would have certainly urged him to prioritize his cultivation and set these aside for later.
But by first suggesting the inscription of formations on his body, getting rejected, and then asking to learn about formations, Yun Xiao wouldn’t be able to refuse again.
Even the most basic Primordial World formations were superior to the bone inscriptions from those so-called pureblood beings in the Perfect World.
If all else failed, Shi Chen was prepared to go back and inscribe the Jade Core Scripture of the Primordial Lord onto his body.
If the Primordial Heavenly Emperor could inscribe the Primordial True Explanation, then there was no reason why he couldn’t inscribe a Jade Core Scripture.
This Scripture created by a Saint was far superior to the techniques created by the Corpse Emperor in his past life.
“Very well. I have a few basic Formation Principles in my possession. Take them and study them.”
Yun Xiao finally agreed to Shi Chen’s proposal.
“However, since you have cultivation now, come with me to Jinao Island and get your name entered in the roster.”
Yun Xiao said.
Intercepting Sect disciples, whether of the second generation or the third, all had to be registered in the roster.
Only those whose names were entered in the roster were considered true disciples of the Intercepting Sect, protected by the sect's great Dao fortune.
Previously, this matter had been delayed because Shi Chen hadn’t had any cultivation.
Now, Yun Xiao thought, since he was here anyway, she might as well take care of this as well!
Without waiting for Shi Chen to speak, Yun Xiao grabbed him, transforming into a beam of light and leaving Three Immortal Island.
Three Immortal Island wasn’t far from Jinao Island. In a short while, Yun Xiao and Shi Chen arrived at Jinao Island.
As they stepped onto the island, the lazy Tong Tian, who had been reclining on the Cloud Creation in Biyou Palace, suddenly opened his eyes.
“Interesting.”
“Truly interesting!”
“I never thought there would be such a variable in the Primordial World!”
“Haha, a thread of destiny!”
“This is the so-called thread of destiny!!”
“It perfectly aligns with the true intention of our Intercepting Sect!! To intercept a thread of destiny for all living beings!!”
Tong Tian burst into laughter. His voice echoed throughout Jinao Island, causing the entire island and even the East Sea to tremble.
