Heavenly Monarch.
An existence on par with a Primordial Spirit True Monarch Level.
A hundred years ago, during the period when Demon Spirits ran rampant, the status of a Heavenly Monarch was even higher than that of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
Moreover, compared to Heavenly Masters, Heavenly Monarchs, through True Spirit Possession, could force a Co-spirit, having certain combat capabilities.
Although not strong, still not on par with the sword control assassination of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, an existence at this realm had both the combat power and the status.
Most suitable for Gu Jinlai's identity at this moment.
In addition, during this period, he had brought out many strange objects of the Heavenly Masters, including the Short Range Defense Cannon that intercepts the flying swords of Divinity Transformation Cultivators.
With the identity of a Heavenly Monarch, the origins of these items could all be explained.
