Another highlight of the movie is the cast. It gathers together a group of voiceover celebrities, such as Yang Tianxiang, famous for voicing a Buddhist monk in the movie Legend of the Demon Cat, and Ji Guanlin, known for lending her voice to the protagonist in Empresses in the Palace.

Depicting it as an "impressive yet challenging" experience, Yang Tianxiang recalls that they performed the voiceovers before the film started shooting, so they had to use their imagination to picture the emotions and reactions of their characters.

Despite obtaining a current score of 7 points out of 10 on the review aggregator Douban, the movie has received some criticism. While most users hail its gorgeous scenery and visualization of the heavenly palaces and creatures, they say the plot is a bit plain and chastise the lack of character development-common complaints among viewers of Light Chaser's consistently visually stunning films.
