Jiang Liu naturally understood the purpose of the Tathagata bringing out this God-Forbidding Ring.
Firstly, it was to reassure these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and secondly, his battle prowess had recently become increasingly formidable, making even the Tathagata feel somewhat troubled, perhaps?
After all, he now possessed battle capabilities comparable to a Quasi-Saint.
Putting aside other matters, with his current strength alone, causing a calamity to befall him was becoming increasingly difficult, right?
Therefore, whether for the progress of the Journey to the West for Scriptures or to reassure others, the Tathagata had to bring out this God-Forbidding Ring.
This punishment was indeed most suitable for him, as it would not affect the progress of the Journey to the West for Scriptures.
Of course, while the Tathagata's reasoning was sound, for Jiang Liu, this God-Forbidding Ring was more of a good thing.
