The are three types of cementite which form in different ways. There's the primary that forms from crystalization from the molten iron above 4.3%C and below 6.7%C (line CD in Fe-Fe3C diagram), secondary cementite which forms from precipitation from austenite at the right side of the eutectoid point. And there's the tertiary cementite which forms as precipitation from ferrite alpha because of the falling solubility of carbon in ferrite as temperature goes down.
