Chapter 1452 Returning as the Boss 11
"Are you an immortal who came to participate in the Jiuzhou Ranking?"
Su Yan nodded and asked curiously: "How long have you been here? Why haven't you left yet?"
Zhang Jin took advantage of the fact that the blacksmith hadn't returned yet to make a long story short: "When I first entered the Heart Lake, I was teleported here directly. I have reincarnated here for three lifetimes, and I couldn't escape the fate of a tragic death in all three lifetimes."
Su Yan: "So miserable? Haha... I mean, you still retain your memory?"
Zhang Jin said painfully: "It's useless to keep the memory. Everything in this place seems to be set up. When the time comes to die, there is no way to avoid it. I don't know how to resolve it."
Zhang Jin was in great pain. He knew his ending, but he couldn't escape it and kept walking towards his predetermined conclusion.
When he arrived in this city, Mo the blacksmith accepted him as his last disciple and taught him how to forge magical weapons.
Blacksmith Mo said that he would be able to forge a peerless sword in the future, and he would become famous all over the world.
In his first life, Zhang Jin worked hard to become a world-famous swordsmith. He studied the art of swordsmithing and devoted himself to swordmaking.
He failed countless times, and each time he was just a little bit short. He felt that he was on the edge of success, but he still couldn't complete it.
Blacksmith Mo asked him to go back and read his ancestors' notes, hoping he could gain some inspiration from them.
He went to see it, and the only revelation he got was that in order to forge a peerless sword, he must infuse the sword with sword soul.
He thought that as long as the peerless sword was forged, he would complete the test and pass the level.
He couldn't bear to harm other people's lives and knew that he would not be really dead if he died, so he jumped into the fire without hesitation.
Because he sacrificed his life for the sword, the peerless sword was finally born, and his name finally spread throughout the world, making him a world-renowned swordsmith.
His soul saw the admiration of future generations for him, and the only sword he left in the world was that peerless sword.
In the next few decades, people in the martial arts world fought for this peerless sword. The sword was stained with blood and became a real killing sword.
Many people died because of the sword, and the sword carried too much blood debt. Its last owner believed that this sword was an ominous sword from the beginning. In order to prevent more people from dying in the fight for this sword, he chose to seal the sword.
The peerless sword was sunk into the lake and disappeared from the world ever since.
In this life, although Zhang Jin was famous in the martial arts world, he had not completed the test and was unable to leave. As the peerless sword sank into the lake, his soul was no longer imprisoned. When he opened his eyes, he returned to the desert.
He once again came to Ducheng with untold hardships. Although he also became a swordsmith this time, he did not choose to sacrifice his life to the sword, but chose not to forge a peerless sword.
After much thought, he decided that as long as he didn't forge a peerless sword, so many people wouldn't have died in vain. This time, he would just be an ordinary swordsmith, and perhaps he could get through this test.
However, even if he only forged ordinary weapons, he had more experience in forging skills and vision than ordinary swordsmiths, so the weapons he forged were better than those of ordinary people.
As his fame grew, many people came to him to ask him to forge weapons. Even though the weapons he forged were priceless, countless heroes still flocked to them.
His master said frankly that he would be able to forge a peerless sword in the future.
Just because of his master's words, the best master in the world asked him to forge a peerless sword.
The peerless sword has not yet been released, but he has become the object of competition among people in the martial arts world.
In this life, many people died for him, and he was also burdened by his fame, which aroused the jealousy of his senior brother.
In order to prove that he is not the only one who can forge the best sword, the senior brother challenges him to a life-and-death duel.
Zhang Jin knew that he could forge a peerless sword, but he was unwilling to do so. His concession did not win his senior brother's understanding, but instead made his senior brother feel that he looked down on him.
The senior brother captured the junior sister who was in love with him and forced him to compete with him.
For the safety of his junior sister, Zhang Jin can only compete with his senior brother. The peerless sword requires the blood of a living person as a sacrifice. Zhang Jin does not plan to sacrifice the sword himself in this life, nor does he want to hurt innocent people.
He did not sacrifice the sword, so the sword he forged was not as good as the one made by his senior brother.
He lost to his eldest senior brother, who laughed at him and insulted him wantonly. However, the youngest junior sister had peeked at his sword-making notes and knew that there was one last step in sword-making, which was sword sacrifice.
The younger sister snatched Zhang Jin's sword and threw it into the furnace. When everyone was puzzled, she smiled and said, "Brother Zhang did not lose. He just didn't want to compete with you, the eldest brother. The best sword in the world has not been truly forged yet. You just wait and see."
After saying that, the little sister jumped off the stove, and everyone was shocked.
With the blood sacrifice, the peerless sword was finally born. The golden light of the divine weapon made everyone unable to open their eyes. The junior sister was right, the peerless sword was finally made.
Zhang Jin didn't want to hurt anyone, but he caused more innocent people to die for him.
The process of this life was more tortuous, but in the end it followed the same path as the previous life.
And the person who got the peerless sword would kill him as soon as he got the sword to prevent him from forging another peerless sword.
In his third life, he returned to Ducheng. He ignored his former master's recruitment and chose to be an ordinary person.
However, people who have reached the peak will always be different from others, no matter how ordinary they are.
Someone accidentally discovered that he could cast, and at first people just asked him to help make a few kitchen knives.
Later, some people saw that he was good at casting and asked him to make weapons.
When he was unwilling, the other party threatened the lives of those close to him.
As a last resort, he made weapons for the other party.
Even so, his fame grew.
He, a person who changed his career late, actually made better weapons than the people in the Sword Forging Villa.
In this life, before he could forge a peerless sword, he was kidnapped and placed under house arrest by the people from the Sword-Forging Villa.
The person who kidnapped him was his former senior brother.
The eldest senior brother put him under house arrest just to force him to forge various weapons, but the eldest senior brother lied that these weapons were all forged by himself.
The weapons he forged made the eldest senior brother famous. He lived in darkness, but the eldest senior brother lived a life of luxury with the help of the weapons he forged.
He tried to escape countless times, but was caught and beaten every time.
The last time, the eldest senior brother said that he would let him go free if he helped him forge another peerless sword.
He had no fondness for the peerless sword and was extremely averse to the idea of creating one.
He refused to forge it, so the eldest brother tortured him. After day after day of torture, he finally compromised.
He thought that as long as he forged the best sword, he would be free.
However, when the peerless sword was about to be completed, he was pushed into the furnace by his eldest brother.
The eldest senior brother ignored his painful struggle and sneered: "If you die, no one in the world will know that this peerless sword was not forged by me. You are no longer valuable, so you can be used as a sacrifice for me."
Zhang Jin was unwilling to accept this. For three lifetimes, he had died for the sake of the peerless sword. Why couldn't he escape this fate?
What if he stayed away from everything he was familiar with and started from scratch as an ordinary person?
But in the fourth life, which was this life, he was rescued by his master as soon as he woke up and was brought back to the Sword-Forging Villa.
The inescapable fate gave him a sense of fatalism. Was he destined to die for the peerless sword in this life?
