Seven levels from 200.
The EXP bar showed fourteen percent of the current threshold consumed. The 193 to 194 gap required more experience than the 190 to 191 gap had, the exponential cost curve continuing its steady steepening.
He closed the panel.
The Greater Qilin was waiting on the island edge, its orientation already toward the next cluster, the evolved spatial awareness it had developed providing a continuous navigational read of the surrounding terrain that expressed itself as a posture rather than communication. It knew where the next density was. It was indicating that without needing to be asked.
"Letโs go," Lin Yi said.
The qilin activated Heaven Step.
The cluster it brought him to was denser than the one he had used for the guardian test, the island formation wider and more layered, the monster population operating in the level 148 to 162 range across a surface area that gave them room to distribute properly rather than compressing into the kind of density the volcanic basin had produced.
He landed at the clusterโs entry point and drew the Celestial Lord Blade.
The first island had twelve Celestial Dreadhorns distributed across its surface, the monsters that had required seventeen exchanges before the Set Attribute Core assimilation and two exchanges after. He read the positions through Predatory Instinctโs passive identification and released Celestial Sword Qi in the wide arc mode.
Twelve simultaneous.
[Celestial Dreadhorn ร12 Defeated โ Rare Elite Bonus Applied ร12]
[EXP Gained: +54,800 ร 12 = +657,600]
[Reward Amplification Triggered โ ร1000]
[New EXP Gained: +657,600,000]
[Level Up! โ Level 193 โ Level 194]
One island. One release. One level.
He moved to the second island before the drop notifications finished processing, the Spatial Storage Token absorbing the amplified materials automatically without requiring his attention.
[Starborn Predator ร8 Defeated]
[EXP Gained: +31,200 ร 8 = +249,600]
[Amplification: +249,600,000]
[Void Stalker ร15 Defeated]
[EXP Gained: +23,100 ร 15 = +346,500]
[Amplification: +346,500,000]
[Level Up! โ Level 194 โ Level 195]
Two levels in the first ten minutes. The density in this cluster was working in his favor, the population distribution putting enough monsters per island that each wide arc release was multiplying the per-kill amplification across a high enough count to consume level thresholds at a pace that the earlier single-monster island work had not matched.
He crossed to the clusterโs interior formation, where the density was highest.

[Ashenveil Predator ร11 | Level 152]
HP: 112,400 / 112,400 each

Wide arc. All eleven.
[Ashenveil Predator ร11 Defeated]
[EXP Gained: +34,400 ร 11 = +378,400]

HP: 124,600 / 124,600 each

He did not use Celestial Sword Qi for this group. He used Resonant Strike through the Celestial Lord Blade directly, the secondary burst detonating from within each target rather than from the surface, bypassing the Ravager classificationโs distributed defensive structure. Nine individual contacts, each one producing the dual-impact result, the kills arriving within two seconds of the first strike.
[Voidclaw Ravager ร9 Defeated]
[EXP Gained: +38,200 ร 9 = +343,800]
[Amplification: +343,800,000]
[Level Up! โ Level 195 โ Level 196]
The Greater Qilin moved through the cluster beside him, its Heaven Step carrying it between islands in the same intervals his own traversal covered, the synchronization of their movement through a cluster now operating as an established pattern, providing the environmental awareness that extended his effective read of the cluster ahead of his actual position.
He reached the clusterโs deepest island. The system prompt registered the resident before he landed.

[Heavenโs Warden]
Threat Level 167 โ Cluster Guardian
HP: 312,000 / 312,000
Physical Attack: 4,640โ5,280
Physical Defense: 4,380โ4,960

[Guardian-tier monster stationed at the heart of high-density island clusters. Defeating it triggers a cluster reward. Layered celestial stone construction distributes incoming force across multiple strata. Weak point: central dao core at the chestโs geometric center]
---
Level 167 Cluster Guardian. He had been working through these since the first one he encountered, the jade drop from the cluster reward amplifying to a thousand per kill. He had accumulated a significant jade count from the guardian drops alone, which the haloโs slot mechanism suggested would eventually be useful in a way he had not yet fully calculated.
He activated Absolute Domain. All three components simultaneously, the domain expanding to maximum radius, the amplification and suppression effects running at triple values within the expanded area.
Into the domain, he released Celestial Sword Qi at single-target concentration mode aimed at the chestโs geometric center.
The Wardenโs layered defense distributed the force across its strata structure. Against the Blade Domainโs amplified Celestial Sword Qi, the distribution was insufficient. The concentrated output penetrated to the dao core directly.
One exchange.
[Heavenโs Warden Defeated โ Cluster Guardian]
[EXP Gained: +118,000 โ Rare Elite Bonus + Guardian Bonus Applied]
[Amplification: +118,000,000]
[Cluster Reward โ Celestial Jade ร1 โ Amplified ร1000]
[Level Up! โ Level 196 โ Level 197]
[Level Up! โ Level 197 โ Level 198]
Two levels from a single Cluster Guardian kill with the domain amplification applied. He noted the interaction. The Blade Domainโs multiplier was stacking with the Absolute Domainโs triple values, producing an output enhancement that his standard wide arc release did not carry. Cluster Guardians with Absolute Domain active and Celestial Sword Qi in concentration mode was a specific combination that produced results beyond either element individually.
He filed this and moved to the next cluster.
The qilin Heaven Stepped them across the gap in three transitions, landing on the new clusterโs entry island. This formation was different from the previous ones, taller rather than wide, the islands stacked vertically more than they spread laterally, the traversal between them requiring upward movement rather than horizontal crossing.
He worked upward through the stack.
[Crimson Tide Drake ร6 | Level 158]
[Crimson Tide Drake ร6 Defeated]
[EXP Gained: +42,600 ร 6 = +255,600]

[Nebula Titan ร4 Defeated]
[EXP Gained: +48,200 ร 4 = +192,800]
[Amplification: +192,800,000]
[Level Up! โ Level 198 โ Level 199]
One level from 200.
