Qin Tian retracted the Black Frost Blade and swam towards the glint in the middle of the lake bottom.
As he descended deeper, the light became increasingly clear, and the surrounding water grew even colder, causing the tortoise shell shield on his body to tremble slightly, as if it could be penetrated by the cold at any moment.
In just a moment, he reached the bottom of the lake.
Underfoot was a flat ice surface, producing a faint creak as he stepped on it, and the source of the glimmer finally appeared fully before him.
It was a deep blue orb, about the size of a fist, perfectly round and translucent, as if it contained the chill of the entire ice field, quietly resting on a stone platform at the center of the lake bottom.
The strangest part was that the lake water around the orb was separated by an invisible force, forming a vacuum area with a diameter of about a meter where not a single drop of water could approach.
