Chapter Sixteen: Summoned by the Primordial Lord, A Variable in the Interception Sect
At this moment, Shi Chen didn't know that his arrival had attracted the attention of the Primordial Lord of the Interception Sect.
With Yunxiao's guidance, Shi Chen quickly had his name recorded in the Interception Sect's roster.
The moment his name was inscribed, Shi Chen felt as if something inexplicable and indescribable was bestowed upon him.
Suddenly, Shi Chen felt a clarity in his mind, a marked improvement in his comprehension of the heavens and earth, and even a significant increase in his affinity for spiritual energy.
Is this what fortune is?
Shi Chen thought to himself.
No wonder the cultivators of the primordial world were all vying to join these major sects.
Apart from receiving the teachings of the saints, the protection of fortune was a significant factor.
On this Golden Aurous Isle, Shi Chen felt incredibly uncomfortable.
The gazes of those around him were filled with scrutiny and curiosity.
They were all curious how a human who hadn't even achieved the realm of a celestial being had come to Golden Aurous Isle.
And how he had even become a third-generation disciple of Yunxiao, joining the Interception Sect?
In the primordial world, humans were practically synonymous with weakness.
They lacked strength, talent, and powerful figures, and were treated as food by other races.
Almost no one considered humans worthy of notice.
"Master, let's go back?"
Shi Chen felt uncomfortable under the scrutiny of those around him.
Moreover, he knew that within the Interception Sect, there were many who preyed on humans.
Therefore, he didn't hold much affection for those in the Interception Sect, except for his master and a few others.
Yunxiao was about to nod when she suddenly paused, her face revealing a look of disbelief.
Then, Yunxiao looked at Shi Chen with a complex expression.
"The Primordial Lord wants to see you."
These words left Shi Chen completely baffled.
What was going on?
The Primordial Lord wanted to see him?
Shi Chen's first thought was, had his identity as a time-traveler been exposed?
To be honest, Shi Chen was deeply reluctant about this.
However, the other party was the Primordial Lord.
How could he refuse?
With a troubled heart, Shi Chen followed Yunxiao towards the Azure Stream Palace.
This scene caused quite a stir throughout the entire Interception Sect.
Many envied, resented, and hated Shi Chen.
Even among them, the second-generation disciples, apart from a few direct disciples, didn't have the privilege of meeting with the Primordial Lord in the Azure Stream Palace.
Yet, Shi Chen, a mere human and a third-generation disciple, was able to meet with his master.
What an honor!
This also sparked curiosity among many about Shi Chen.
What was so special about this weak human that he could gain the favor of the Primordial Lord?
On the other side, within the Azure Stream Palace, Shi Chen had already adopted a "dead pig not afraid of boiling water" attitude.
Since he was already here, all scheming and careful considerations were useless in front of a saint.
He was also curious to know why the Primordial Lord wanted to see him.
Could it be because of the stone bead?
On the cloud bed, the Primordial Lord, contrary to his usual lazy demeanor, looked at Shi Chen with increasing delight.
Finally, he burst into laughter.
"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!"
"It is truly, wonderful!"
"You were born to be a disciple of my Interception Sect!"
"Yunxiao, why don't you let me have this disciple?"
The Primordial Lord even joked with Yunxiao.
As soon as these words left his mouth, Shi Chen was even more confused.
This was not what he expected.
Yunxiao replied helplessly.
"Primordial Lord, stop making such jokes, okay?"
Only a disciple like Yunxiao, who was very familiar with the Primordial Lord, could tolerate his eccentric nature.
"Haha!"
The Primordial Lord, seeing this, laughed heartily and stopped mentioning the matter. Then, he changed the subject.
"Do you know what the doctrine of my Interception Sect is?"
The Primordial Lord asked.
"To intercept a thread of fate for all living beings."
Shi Chen replied.
Yunxiao had made him memorize the Interception Sect's doctrine beforehand.
The Primordial Lord nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, to intercept a thread of fate for all living beings."
"As the saying goes, the great cycle of the heavens has fifty-one, forty-nine are fixed, one is mutable, and the remaining one is a variable."
"You, Shi Chen, you are that variable."
"Thus, aren't you destined to be my disciple of the Interception Sect?"
The Primordial Lord's words made Shi Chen's brain race.
There were two meanings to his words.
Firstly, the Primordial Lord had not seen through his origins, and he was not a native of this world.
Thus, the stone bead was likely what he thought it was, otherwise, how could it have escaped the saint's detection?
Secondly, he seemed to be naturally compatible with the Interception Sect's doctrine, and the Primordial Lord held great expectations for him, as if he wanted to cultivate him intensively.
This made Shi Chen instantly excited, and he said.
"Reporting to the Grandmaster, after joining my master's sect, I've had a realization..."
As he spoke, Shi Chen manifested the bone script of the perfect great world in his hand.
Of course, in the primordial world, they had another name: primordial divine patterns!
