To be rated as an SS-level genius is no simple feat. In the Immortal Palace, it was rare for a female prodigy to be rated as an SS-level genius. An SS-level genius was, in fact, someone with a high probability of cultivating to the Golden Core Realm.
It's important to understand that SS-level geniuses are fully qualified to enter major cultivation Sects, like Kunlun and Shushan. Their disciples are all SS-level geniuses, though there are, of course, the higher SSS-level geniuses. However, an SSS-level rating is only determined after an SS-level genius undergoes a period of cultivation and several years of observation. This prodigy, Yan Feifei, even had a small chance of being an SSS-level genius, which meant she might one day cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm.
However, the probability of that was extremely low—almost negligible. After all, in all of China's thousands of years of history, only a handful of Cultivators have ever reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
