Knowing that, 700 years of accumulated play-time actually seems too little.

Black Lotus came into play two years after the game had already started, and it generally seems to take at least four months or a whole year to reach Level 4. She's also spent the last two years in exile.
That would mean a possible maximum of 3000 years, but only if she spent every moment of her life in the Unlimited Neutral Field. She still had to spent Unaccelerated hours in school, or going to and from school, and eating...
Though it's possible that Black Lotus entered the Unlimited Neutral Field even during her exile. This would have allowed her to continue gathering combat experience and practicing her Incarnate Skills, as well as gathering Burst Points.
This would actually be safe enough to do regularly. Among other things, as a Level 9 King, Black Lotus can solo even legendary-level Enemies.
But also, the odds of accidentally running into other Burst Linkers there are long, especially if one Accelerates within a battle zone or private network with few or no Burst Linkers.
Sure, other Burst Linkers who enter from one zone or network can travel into the part of the Unlimited Neutral Field where she is, but Linkers tend to avoid that because of the possibility of running into Enemies or other Linkers they don't want to fight. Plus, even if Black Lotus is discovered, they have to consider the possibility that she traveled to that spot from another entry point, so they can't be immediately sure of what battle zone she's hiding in.
Besides, it's not THAT hard to deduce where Black Lotus would be hiding. It's fairly obvious that she would go to ground in a neutral battle area unclaimed by any legion and which has few Burst Linkers. Any of the five surviving Kings could have figured that much out.
The Purple King likely tore up all such areas within her reach years ago to try finding Lotus, but the other Kings don't seem as motivated.
Even if someone found the right battle zone, all Lotus needs to do is leave her Neuro-Linker disconnected from the global network and challenging her is impossible. Finding her in the Unlimited Neutral Field is riduculously difficult as well.
